mr. two sticks of butter

i went against the rules
Rule:
Only pick recipes that call for a stick of butter or less
BUT mr pumpkin cake bars, I could not resist.
I oooggled eyed you and dreamed about jumping in a pool of you for long enough.
so I took the plunge and made these.
ummm
verdict
worth every bit of two sticks of butter
yummmm
yummmmmmmm
yummmmmmmmmmmm
happy fall treat!

It was so pretty and fun
We hiked up a dune [out of breath, gesh]
Took the scenic drive
Walked through the cotton trail
and stopped in Glen Arbor on the way home

A bad friend is one that forgets birthdays!  shameful.

A wise friends once told me that getting old is for the birds....possible spotting of a spider vain.  27 and over the hill.

i pass you almost everyday

I talk about how beautiful you are with others
I dream about your front steps
I visit many church's like you in others cities, states and countries
YET
I never take time to stop and visit you
BUT
Yesterday was the day
I had time, so I stopped
I walked around and admired
I decided to let myself inside for a personal tour

Yes St. Mary's Church
you are beautiful
you are a little treasure right down the road

9am I walked down to the Courthouse.  Checked in.  Played on my phone, read, and watched the Today show until 10:45.

Then excuse me ladies and gentleman

You have all performed your civil duty, there is no jury needed today.  You are free to go.

and what rang through my head
FREEDOM! FREEEEDOOMMMM

called work and best boss in the world ;-) said, no need to come in.

FREEDOM! FREEEEDOOMMMM



And what a beautiful October day it was!
